Wharf where the big ships come in

kids on the wharf

Lily is her favorite position

Tuesday morning awakes us, and Dylan asks, “are we doing the same again today”, its called relaxation and its nice to take it slowly. We went to check out the wharf and this is where my mum and dad’s ship would of docked when they came here last year. The water color is just amazing its hard to describe it, its like its not actually real. Had a walk along the wharf and then drove to Gantheum point, where the tide was at its highest this year, 9 metres. We went and stood on the rocks and from afar could see a whale. We knew it was a whale as he would spray up water and then you could see a tale out of the water. Another historical landmark at Gantheum point was Anastasia’s pool. There is a house at the point and it has million dollars views and many years ago a gut lived there with his wife who had arthritis and he made a pool down on the rocks and would carry her to a pool he made, its now called Anastasia’s pool. Young locals were down jumping of the rocks as the tide was so high, but I couldn’t look as they jumped. We went into the shops after that, nice to get some air-condition relief, as we had to increase our Internet, AGAIN. We looked around all the shops and then had some hot chippies for lunch from the local fish and chip shop. Did a bit of souvenir shopping and post card hunting, as we are collecting postcards from each place, as the pictures are fantastic. Checked out an old amphitheatre in the town, which is still used today, its outside but all old fashioned, we walked in and took a look around. Went back to camp and used the magnificent pool once again Kids just love it and we love sitting around and soaking up the rays of sunshine, while we can before we head south. I was thinking of my trip the next day, and what it was going to be like. I haven’t been on a play in 13 years since we got married, so nerves started to set in. I got myself organized and showered the night before as I was to be picked up at 5.30am out the front of the caravan park the next morning. I received a phone call to confirm my booking tonight, so it was real it was happening. Mark took kids down to beach for a play, while had a little me, time. A difficult night to sleep, as it was hot and muggy and I had a mind that was ticking over and over. Mark had said he would get up with the kids and see me off on the bus, I had said no way, and it’s too early. All asleep ready for the big day.
